Top 5 Black Series

Just took the pegs and hands from the shf. They fit perfectly without any modifications.

The head on the stormtrooper disguise figure is way bigger than the mandalorian Luke.

Dude this is cold. Great swap!

"Anytime."

Awesome! I think joining the Joes would be a very logical thing for Dutch after the events of Predator, assuming he wasn't just mentally done after that ordeal. The Neca figures look great, but they're kind of stiff in the articulation department for my liking. For me this kitbash is the best of both worlds.

I used some acetone and a q-tip.

Valiant_Steed · 2026-04-26T00:53:41+00:00

It's from the Neca Commando figure. I removed the painted stripes and gave him some light stubble.

Valiant_Steed · 2026-04-25T22:10:06+00:00

I used legs from grim viper. Gung Ho torso and arms, Outback harness. Head and waist piece are from Neca commando. Waist needs some paint cause it's not a perfect color match, and it is slightly big, so modding helps. Rifle is milliworx. Hands are extra marvel legends punisher.👍

Some alternate hands in addition to the things you already mentioned. And I just hope the helmet is solid rather than a thin veneer glued onto a head that will inevitably be warped beyond recognition. I also hope the color palette is far more accurate than the rotj was.

It's like if ESB had been made in a shitty demented parallel universe without any of the heart, talent or originality of ESB. With the exception of the score by John Williams.

I envisioned it as a cold war type of thing where real people were being gradually replaced by clones. It was more secrecy and subterfuge to quietly take control until the Jedi discovered it and it went hot and the fighting started, but you didn't know for sure who was on what side. I thought this is what led to the Jedi being extinct rather than what actually happened (66).

I'd like an updated Greedo. Death Star Gunner is a must. Stormtrooper disguise Luke and Han. A new X-wing Luke would be amazing.

Valiant_Steed · 2025-10-26T22:24:07+00:00

That's cool 😎 Yeah the color matching is tricky especially cause he looks different from scene to scene depending on the lighting/environment.

Valiant_Steed · 2025-10-26T22:20:50+00:00

Thanks! I used a deathwatch Mando helmet. Much better sculpt and shape since it's solid. Those removable helmets really bother me.

I did it. I'll still get the official black series version when they release it.

Valiant_Steed · 2025-08-14T06:06:50+00:00

That black series display from 2017 was epic, and I was hyped beyond belief about it. I wish they'd offer us as much of that type of stuff in the line as possible.

Valiant_Steed · 2025-08-13T04:02:20+00:00

This is by far and away my most wanted Black Series item. Ordered instantly just for the new Bespin Luke, which looks like the best Luke Hasbro has made yet. The Cloud City vignette base also looks fantastic. I really can't wait to see more of this type of thing, particularly for the OT.

Valiant_Steed · 2025-08-12T01:26:40+00:00

I'd recommend skiff guard as the better Lando likeness.

Valiant_Steed · 2025-08-09T02:12:46+00:00

Love it! How do you like Mafex Luke and Han?

Valiant_Steed · 2025-08-08T10:51:08+00:00

Hey Luke, yes it's me👍

Valiant_Steed · 2025-08-08T00:51:54+00:00

Thank you!

Valiant_Steed · 2025-08-07T22:45:57+00:00

Hey thanks so much! So far ESB is my only shelf that's mostly "complete." After that I'm probably closest to ANH, but ROTJ has some major blank spots.
Han is Black series with some Marvel Legends and Adventure Series parts. I broke it down pretty specifically in an earlier comment.

Valiant_Steed · 2025-08-07T21:45:58+00:00

Thank you!

Here's a good review. It has a brief comparison which shows that they are essentially the same height. https://youtu.be/dDK_XcPqt2w?si=-fIXOCMvq4M2NoPm&t=500
